If Berkshire Hathaway sells 1 million shares of AAPL for N dollars per share, and the market drops the price to .8 * N dollars per share, he just buys more shares back with those same dollars, for example.

It would be a very Buffett thing to do, because shares produce dividends per share, so increasing share count is its own strategy.
